That's the famous Magma Hotel in Superior. Downtown Superior has been featured in many films, including Oliver Stone's U-Turn, and the epic Squint Eastwood classic The Gauntlet. It has quite a history...
The Magma Hotel - Superior, Arizona USA
This picture preserves a tidbit of Arizona's fading past. The Magma Hotel is a now fallen remnant of lost history. It has collapsed since this picture was taken.
The Magma Hotel stood in the dilapidated and crumbling center of downtown Superior, Arizona.
Superior is a classic example of the heritage of Arizona's mining past. Though once elegant, this hotel stood unoccupied since the early 80s before its inevitable collapse.
Superior was a booming mining town founded back in the wild west of the 1880s. Those times are long gone. The last mine closed there more than 20 years ago.
The Ballad of Mattie Blaylock... or
The Seamy Side of Wyatt Earp
In front of the Magma Hotel there used to be a bronze plaque dedicated to the memory of Mattie Blaylock. She committed suicide near Superior in a town called Pinal City. The plaque is gone now, removed after the collapse.
You've probably never heard of her but she was the common law wife of Wyatt Earp for years. Everyone has heard of him. He is one of the most famous figures ever from Old West.
But there was a seedier side to the Old West that we rarely read about but where Wyatt played his part. It is not the place of romantic lore we'd like to think.
You see, Wyatt unceremoniously abandoned Mattie! And Mattie came back to this area after his abandonment of her to return to her former profession of prostitution that she was in when she had met Wyatt in Kansas. She and Wyatt had spent several months near here in a town called Pinal City on their journey to Tombstone from Dodge City, Kansas.
Nine years after that journey, on July 3, 1888, Mattie took a lethal dose of the drug laudanum together with alcohol near here. She is buried in the cemetery at Pinal City, now a ghost town, located just west of Superior, Arizona.

Yup, I know about W. Earp's escapades. Chandler!? Small world, as a little twerp I grew up in Sacaton fresh out of N. Dak. Met Ira Hayes tho don't remember him to well. He and my Dad were friends as well as the last Chief of the Pima's. Memory gets a little thin after 60yrs! Going back again in Mar. as well as this boring spot in the pic. Not going in a Kaiser on this trip, LOL.

However, here is my MCS 09 mascot...
Great pictures on this site. I love all of them especially the dark silver ones! (JK)
Chief -- your MINI looks great as usual. Did you add a new JCW spoiler? Looks fast!
Bulldoggirl --- I LOVE that Bulldog on the seat! Priceless!
Gilboyto -- your MINI looks great and those wheels work perfectly with your car. Why do you say it is played out? I think DS is one of the best colors! (surprise...)
Here is an update of my DS. I made a couple of exterior updates recently that will be my last. I am not real happy with these pictures (light and angle) as they make the car look a bit fat for some reason but here you go. I will update later when the weather improves and I can take some better pictures.
BTW -- the "before" picture (just a little one) is in my SIG...

A quick pic of my Astro Black R56S with added chrome mirrors and scoop
I guess I am going against the current trend to get rid of chrome, but I like it.
Comments welcome :-)

I wouldn't say you're going against everytone. Rather just doing your own thing. Doesn't look bad I like it, but I'm apart of the anti-chrome crew.
